Chapter 54 – The Inferior Omega is Forcibly Loved by the Superior Alpha 5

“Why don’t you ask your precious omega what despicable things he and his father have done!”

Wei Sheng sneered, his eyes filled with frost.

Oh no, the substitution has been discovered.

Damn it, how did the Duke find out?

Could it be that bastard Ji Shuangyu who tattled?

Does he have a death wish, daring to betray us!

A thousand thoughts raced through Ji Mian’s mind, but the most pressing one was the desire to kill that traitorous dog, Ji Shuangyu.

He ate their food and used their things, and his family even paid exorbitant medical fees every year to keep his vegetative father alive. How dare he!

Anger was one thing, but Ji Mian would never show his vicious side to outsiders.

His eyes reddened, and he burst into tears, looking pitifully at Wei Yichen. “I’m sorry… Yichen, I lied to you…”

His tears made Wei Yichen’s heart ache. He gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said steadfastly, “Don’t cry, Mianmian. I love you. No matter what you’ve done wrong, I’ll forgive you.

Tell me what happened, and we’ll face it together, okay? Don’t worry, I’m here for you. Even if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you!”

What a moving confession…

Shuang Yu watched the deeply affectionate Wei Yichen with mockery.

This idiot, did he know his deep love was directed at the wrong person?

“Who do you love? The omega from your childhood memories, or the omega standing before you?”

he suddenly asked in an indifferent tone.

Ji Mian’s heart skipped a beat. He shot Shuang Yu a warning glance and clutched Wei Yichen’s hand tightly.

To Wei Yichen, this reaction was a sign of insecurity.

Neither of them noticed he had spoken without stuttering.

Wei Yichen squeezed Ji Mian’s hand firmly and declared resonantly, “I love the Mianmian from the past, and I love the Mianmian of now! There will never be a place for you here. Stop your pointless scheming, Ji Shuangyu.”

He spoke as if Shuang Yu was the one stirring up trouble, causing his father to dislike Ji Mian.

Although, to be fair, Shuang Yu was indeed the one pulling strings behind the scenes.

Of course, his goal was never to win back Wei Yichen.

He had no interest in such a fool who couldn’t judge character.

A derisive smile touched Shuang Yu’s lips, but he didn’t reply.

The lingering mockery in his smile made people extremely uncomfortable.

Wei Yichen couldn’t be bothered to think about what this scheming beta was plotting next and focused all his attention on Ji Mian.

“Mianmian, tell me, what on earth happened? Don’t be afraid, I’ll handle everything for you, hmm?”

Knowing he had his staunchest supporter, Ji Mian took a deep breath and sobbed.

“Yichen, the one who was accepted into Yuesi University… was Xiao Yu… not me… I’m sorry I lied to you, boohoo… I didn’t mean to, it was my dad who forced me to do it, I had no choice…

After my gland was damaged, my mind… it hasn’t been working so well either. I’m a big dummy, I’ve disappointed you…

I’ve been so worried this would all come out, so worried I couldn’t eat or sleep…”

“You couldn’t eat or sleep and still managed to get so plump and fair? Looks like the food at Yuesi University is pretty good.”

The silent Shuang Yu suddenly chimed in with a jab.

“Pfft!”

A nearby servant couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing.

After being glared at by both Wei Sheng and Wei Yichen, she quickly lowered her head and dared not make another sound.

What’s with this Ji Shuangyu? When did he become such a contrarian!

Ji Mian shot him an angry glare.

Shuang Yu didn’t back down, instead returning a mocking smile.

Wei Yichen’s mind was currently in turmoil.

The person with the perfect score on the college entrance exam wasn’t his beloved Ji Mian, but the Ji Shuangyu he utterly despised. This was extremely surprising to him.

And what Ji Mian and his father did was even harder for him to accept.

They had actually pulled a switch and deprived Ji Shuangyu of his chance to attend Yuesi University!

How could his kind Mianmian do something so despicable…

No, his Mianmian must have been forced. He couldn’t defy his father, so he had no choice but to cooperate.

He must have been so anxious, putting on a brave face all this time.

If it weren’t for saving him, Mianmian’s gland and mind wouldn’t have been damaged. It was all his fault!

“Mianmian, even if you’re a dummy, I still like you. I’ll never be disappointed in you. I know this isn’t your fault, you were forced into it. Don’t cry, your eyes are all swollen, you won’t be pretty anymore.”

Wei Yichen’s heart ached as he pulled the wailing Ji Mian into his arms, comforting him softly.

Wei Sheng looked at his romance-obsessed son with a throbbing headache.

Although he disliked Ji Mian, he could turn a blind eye to appease his son’s guilt.

But the problem now was that the story of Ji Mian’s family bribing the Yuesi University principal to swap out Ji Shuangyu had already spread like wildfire.

As the lord of this fiefdom, he had to give the public a satisfactory solution. It was impossible to cover this up!

But his son was completely devoted to Ji Mian right now. If he took action, it would surely cause a rift between them, which would be counterproductive.

Despite his dissatisfaction with Ji Mian, Wei Sheng wouldn’t show it at this moment.

“Young Ji, I deeply sympathize with your plight and regret what happened. How we handle this is up to you. I will not be biased towards Ji Mian just because of his relationship with my son, you can rest assured!”

he asked Shuang Yu with an air of righteousness.

Shuang Yu sneered inwardly.

What an old fox. He knew perfectly well that he was being exploited by the Ji family and couldn’t do anything to them, yet he deliberately asked for his opinion. It was a clear attempt to let them off the hook.

It didn’t matter. His goal of helping the original host regain his right to attend Yuesi University had been achieved. There would be plenty of opportunities to deal with the Ji family later.

“D-Duke Wei, my u-uncle’s family has been n-nothing but kind to me. I w-was also willing to g-give up Yuesi University. S-Since it’s out in the open, I-I only ask to be able to g-go to Yuesi University to c-continue my studies.

B-But since the news has s-spread, the Ji family has to g-give you, and the p-public, an explanation. J-Just have Mianmian release a p-public apology video!”

Shuang Yu offered his opinion with a shy smile.

Stuttering was truly slow, speaking one word at a time was exhausting to listen to.

But Wei Sheng showed no impatience. After listening patiently, he was very satisfied with Ji Shuangyu’s sensibility, and a rare smile appeared on his stern face.

“Young Ji is indeed very kind. Since you are so grateful to your uncle’s family, then let Ji Mian also remain at Yuesi University. Ji Mian, do you agree to this solution?”

His smile vanished, and his icy, soul-piercing eyes swept over to Ji Mian.

Ji Mian valued his pride above all else; making him apologize publicly was a complete humiliation.

But he also knew he couldn’t show any dissatisfaction. Wei Sheng letting him stay at Yuesi University was already a favor granted for Wei Yichen’s sake. To refuse now would be to choose the hard way.

“I am willing, Uncle Wei. Thank you for giving me this chance to turn over a new leaf!”

He nodded with red-rimmed eyes, looking deeply grateful.

Inwardly, however, he was viciously plotting how to get revenge on Ji Shuangyu for this humiliation!
